Are any places in Cambridge (or near) that will be showing the debate tonight? (2024-09-10)
2 alarm fire on Cameron in Somerville. Road is blocked off. Gold Star is supposedly blocked off as well
Tl;dr - one hairdresser is absolutely the worst at this location who knows absolutely nothing about cutting hair and is incredibly rude! Do not go there unless you can get Katelyn (who is incredible and fixed my butchered haircut) to cut your hair.
I recently had the worst haircut of my life at this Supercuts location and I’ve been getting the same cut every 3 month for three years at various places. Look at the photo, WTF is that?! Strands of hair of different lengths on the inside…my simple ask is literally cut it short, same length ALL AROUND lmao.
One stylist, who had curly hair with purple tips and black glasses, was incredibly rude and unprofessional. Despite my apology for being late (they have a waitlist system so it wasn’t even an appointment), she scolded me and then criticized me for explaining the haircut I wanted—a description every other stylist has easily understood. She basically said what you described is me shaving off all your hair (WTF???)
She then proceeded to butcher my hair, cutting it in one straight line without sectioning, like a kindergartener playing with scissors. In just three minutes she cut all around and then my hair was visibly uneven. She kept cutting it shorter and shorter, failing to even out the sides, leaving my hair with five noticeably different lengths.
After sitting in my car, horrified, I had to return and ask for a different stylist. Thankfully, Katelyn saved the day and immediately acknowledged the mistakes. She fixed my hair, which I deeply appreciated. Katelyn deserves five stars for her professionalism.
Beware if you’re assigned a random stylist. My original hairdresser clearly didn’t know how to cut women’s hair, and I can’t believe she gets paid for it. Look at all the reviews complaining about getting an uneven haircut…
Why are maintenance workers driving around at 10:00 PM at night replacing manhole covers near Concord Ave?
They’re driving around with a loader and picking up and dropping big steel plates.
Based on what my account and customer service say, there has been an xfinity outage since last Friday that is still ongoing, although my neighbors have not been experiencing any issues. I tried calling Xfinity but they just said that they're working on it and that there's no ETA.. its been 4 days, and I'm not sure:
FWIW, I'm located close to central
Hello!
I am getting married 9/21 and our venue closes at 10 pm so we were thinking about inviting the friends that would like to continue hanging out to join us at a local bar after 10 pm. We're not planning on hosting an official "event" at a bar (and those seem to all be minimum $2k anyway), but more of a casual drop-in situation, stay for a couple drinks, etc. It seems like our best option is a first-come-first-served scenario so I'm trying to find bars in Cambridge that are open until 12 or 1 but also don't usually have a line to get in/are on the quieter side. Anyone have any recommendations?
The title says it all of the windows in my apartment are sealed shut. I'm unable to get them open and I don't think they're designed to openable. I was wondering if this legal?
DM me a detail about what makes the case unique if you think they might be yours.
Any info on the significant police/EMS presence? The road is shut down (not the one for the festival)
I was hoping H Mart would have some, but I checked online and didn’t see any - I don’t really want to walk there and check just to be disappointed. Any ideas?
Found iPhone 6s on Brookline Ave. Screen is unresponsive so I can't describe the wallpaper/identify the owner/hard reset. If you think it's yours, contact me and tell me what your case looks like, then we can make arrangements to return it to you.
Hey all! I want to hem some of my tshirts and was wondering if there are any cheap options around? I recently went to a shop in central and they charged me $20 for a single tshirt. I just want to shorten the length. Are there any shops in Camberville that charge less than 20 bucks for this kinda thing?
Thanks!
Or failing that / with the above being something of a non-thing, creating one.
This is a shot longest of the long, (like those which I'm looking to play & Deep - lol) but anybody with some playing ability to speak of in the Cambridge neighborhood wanting to meet up and train? I've a table near me, but not a fellow player.
DM me I got about 20 boxes, going to recycle soon
Hi all! I want to get a cocktail with a friend tonight at around midnight (they're traveling and getting in late). We prefer a sit-down quiet-ish venue where we can catch up over a nice cocktail. I'm super new to the area and a lot of the places I've been eyeing look a bit divey/ college-y, which isn't really our scene. Any suggestions? Anywhere in Cambridge is fine!
Background: A no left-turn sign was recently put up on Brattle by Appleton to end the extremely popular cut through onto Huron.
Everyday I pass by on my bicycle, I see one or more cars pulled over by one or more police for making the newly illegal left. Today it was especially ridiculous as three vehicles illegally turned left and passed by the officer already writing someone up for improperly turning left.
I'm a bit curious whether motorists are completely oblivious to the no left turn sign or oblivious to the police officers conspicuously pulling people over.
Hi all!!!
I am a 22F and new to Cambridge! I am searching for friends! I've honestly had success in the past inquiring about friends on Reddit so this would not be my first rodeo lol. I like to read, ice skate, play the cello, and listen to kpop (2nd-3rd gen lol). If you are in the same boat or just looking for a friend, hit my line! I love meeting new people and trying new things.
Is it me, or is the SUM ATM locator totally useless?
It sounds like a great program: a network of banks that don't charge each other's customers ATM fees. But I don't see how to use it when you can't find out where the ATMs are.
I talked to several people at my bank and they didn't even understand the issue.
Is there some other way to find out where these ATMs are?
My sister lived on Brookline street for years, and across Green Street was Peter Valentine's off kilter house with the purple fence and the odd ball signs. Is it still there? I haven't been to that area in quite a while.
Sold out before I could grab one and I don't see any on the usual resell sites. Please lmk if you have an extra!
Am dying to know 😩😩
